New Delhi: Good news for Delhiites! India’s first virtual shopping app for the metro will be available soon for the commuters of the Delhi Metro. The ‘Momentum 2.0’ application will facilitate metro passengers to buy a diverse range of products and even book services online while traveling.

According to the HT report, commuters can use the app to access instant features such as booking bikes, e-rickshaws, and cabs and view the timetable of feeder, DTC, and cluster bus routes from Metro stations.
